Today Same Kerala servant Hassan Abdul Khader has become manager of Mama Mache restaurant and he learnt the secret art from original owner for ten years and, after after mastering the specially prepared herb seasoning, has grown the business much more. Today clients prefer to take away pack fried hamour, sherry, king fish and pomfret
As Eating area in Restaurant is still small and filled mostly with Blue Collared staff, hence customers prefer to eat the fish in their car and most of them order fried-fish as take away, as these customers cannot eat in the restaurant for lack of tables and chairs.

Mama Machhe wale opens at 3pm and Indian workers start cleaning and preparing the fish, merinating specially prepared powder of herbs and spices Frying will start only at 6pm when customers start coming. Restaurant Closes at 12:00 AM.
